15 Checking and adjusting the range settings of a measurement
When a gear monitoring sensor takes a measurement outside the range values defined, it will not be displayed or will present an exception value.
Context
Once defined the measurements you want your gear monitoring sensor to make, you can optimise their range values in order to get a better resolution. With the TV80 system you can define a minimum and a maximum range for every measurement in the Advanced dialog box. The Advanced dialog box is opened from the relevant Configurator dialog boxes.
Procedure
1 Connect the sensor to the computer using the programming cable.
2 On the computer desktop, double-click the TV80 icon to start the program.
3 On the Setup menu, select Installation.
4 In the Sensor list, select the sensor you want to check.
5 Select Modify Sensor.
6 In the very first PX Sensor Configurator dialog box, select communication port and sensor type, then select Connect.
The relevant sensor Configurator dialog box opens.
7 Select Advanced.
8 Check if the values defined for each measurement are inside the default ranges.
9 If necessary, enter new values to adjust to the minimum and maximum default range values.
10 Select OK to close the dialog box.
11 Disconnect the sensor from the interface cable and the computer.
